Prophet (SAW)'s Prayers
Returning Salaam |
If a Muslim sends salaams to another, it should returned in this manner |
وَعَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ |
"On him be safety, Allah's mercy and blessings". |
Reply to the person conveying the salaam on behalf of another |
وَعَلَيْكَ وَعَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ |
"Safety be on you and him. (Hinsul Hasin) |
Muslim brethren should shake hands with salaams. Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.) stated that if two Muslims meet and shake hands, their minor sins are forgiven before they part. (Tirmidhi) |
It is narrated by Abu Dawood that when Muslims shake hands on meeting, praise Allah and make dua for forgiveness, then they are forgiven. (Mishkat) |
